Winemaker Notes
Clear fruit aromas, medium volume and pleasant acid characterize Pinot Blanc. It is absolutely typical of the variety, not scented and something like “everybody's darling” from our wine collection.
It gives pleasure to discerning palates as well as connoisseurs and is therefore ideal as a “wine by the glass” or at banquets.

Delicate whiffs of toast and sweet spice introduce this juicy, bright-fruited Pinot Blanc. Dry on the palate yet packed with ripe, fleshy pear, lemon and grapefruit flavors, it's a mouthwatering, crisply balanced wine with an elegantly smoky finish.
Approachable, aromatic and pleasantly plush on the palate, Pinot Blanc is a white grape variety most associated with the Alsace region of France. Although its heritage is Burgundian, today it is rarely found there and instead thrives throughout central Europe, namely Germany and Austria, where it is known as Weissburgunder and Alto Adige where it is called Pinot Bianco. Interestingly, Pinot Blanc was born out of a mutation of the pink-skinned Pinot Gris. Somm Secret—Chardonnay fans looking to try something new would benefit from giving Pinot Blanc a try.
